Is that a real moose? It looks like a statue. How bizarre.

They snapped that picture right before he broke through the fence... Apparently there is good food at the horse stalls...

Good morning ladies! (and of course, the forever lurking but seldom speaking, Bubba!)

I have a fun relaxing evening planned of doing some computer work while watching the final Lost episode.

The kids had fun going shopping for Ken's birthday cake yesterday after they got home from camping. They picked him up his favourite treats to go with the cake (chocolate covered almonds, sunflower seeds, Tim Horton's hazlenut iced cappuchino & a Tim Horton's Boston Cream doughnut). I'll have to share pictures later in the week.

Monica - great that you can get that lyme test going and hopefully get some answers!

Time to get back to work.

Hi Shannon!!!

I just looked on my calendar and noticed I missed wishing you a nice Victoria Day!!!

(not sure what holiday that is... but I hope it was nice )

Deb, which hotel did you stay at in LA? I know you were on the beach.

First, we were booked at the Crown Plaza in Redondo Beach. Then we cancelled that and stayed at Staybridge Suites in Torrence which is the next town over from Redondo Beach. Me and John loved the neighborhood. I would stay there again.

We didn't want to stay at or near DL because we were only spending one day there and then exploring lots of other places.

Let's talk after you watch it. I need to hear some other opinions. Has everybody watched it who wants to? No spoilers.

I'm so glad the girls had fun celebrating Ken's birthday. I can't wait for the pics.

Hi Shell, how was your time at the lake?

Did you make any life changing decisions?

I hope it was peaceful for you.

Hi All....

I can't believe that I watched the ending of Lost two days ago and I'm still perplexed about the whole thing and trying to figure it out. Such a great show that I think ended so wrong.

I have a fun relaxing evening planned of doing some computer work while watching the final Lost episode.

I LOVED it! Shannon...you can NOT multi-task while watching LOST You have to have your eyes on the screen every moment. So many visual clues and comments. (When you watch, notice the stained glass window in the church.)

Deb, there is a LOST thread here on the DIS if you want to look at people's comments and reactions. I'll be right back with the link.

Here it is, should take you to the page where everyone starts talking about it. I was surprised at how confused some people were....they must have ben multi-tasking!

Hi Shell, how was your time at the lake?

Did you make any life changing decisions?

I hope it was peaceful for you.

It was an interesting trip.

I love the lake... but sometimes it is a double edged sword for me. So many of my friends have places up there and I do not. It makes me upset and envious.

BUT... that said... I am VERY lucky to have a friend like Susan who let me borrow the cabin for 4 nights so I could have a little alone time.

It is been a difficult time with work and personal relationships and I had just reached my breaking point.

So... I did just that... I had a small breakdown and then spent the next 3 days recovering from it. I went through lots of emotions and fought the idea of going home almost every day.

I saw the stars & the Milky Way the first night, it rained the 2nd two days, but I got the chance to put my feet in the water and sit by the lake and read. I stitched a bit (which I need to get back to...) and I let my brain clear.

I have made some decisions that will be good for me... not too good for others. I still do not know which direction my life will go in. I do not know if I will have a job after this. I have decided to stop worrying about others that I cannot control. Their decisions are not mine and I'm not doing it anymore.

It has been nice and quiet this week. I have not had my phone with me 24/7 which is good and I think I will be able to get through TX ok. We leave a week from today... (actually in 1 week... I should be landing in Orlando about now... and fighting the urge to go and say hello to the Magical Express people...)

& I thank everyone for being concerned and sending love and these...

Thanks Jackie....I'm sure I need to see some other views. I did not notice the stained glass window in the church. I'll have to go back and watch again.....it's recorded.

Glad you loved it, but I'm still upset by it all.

That's very wise and profound of you to realize. I know it was not an easy decision. I'm sure good things will come of it....when one door closes, another opens. Sending prayers and pixie dust that it happens soon.

How long will you be in TX? Is this for a graduation? It will do you loads of good to celebrate with your family.

Sending more of these

 

[Tink rules]

Yeah... Brian graduates on the 3rd... We have Op. Graduation that night (I am chaparoning...) then we will go to my sister's lake house on Lake Conroe for the weekend and fly back on the 8th. It will be a nice trip. I am cooking. Brian is very happy about that.

 

[granmaz]

That will be lovely Michelle and a great family celebration.

 

[Tink rules]

I have to clear my camera card so I can take lots of pics!

 

[katypop]

You have skunks???

Well, not as personal pets of course Our neighbourhood has always had skunks. Some years are worse than others. They dig in the yard at night I've come home from work late at night and pulled into the driveway and startled one more than once So far, I've been lucky they haven't sprayed!

I know Shell, I completely agree. He needs to grow up and fly right on his own now. NO WAY he's welcome back to live with us. Sad but so.

Deb You tried Now it's time for him to grow up.

Deborah, hope your weather improves soon!

Michelle I'm glad you have a family get together planned

Monica, glad you were able to set up the testing, good to hear you haven't been having too many headaches lately too!

 

[Tink rules]

Skunks up here are road kill



It seems that RC is having a rough time... today they lost their second crew member in a month overboard... This time it was off the Oasis of the Seas...

 

[HollyTyler]

Morning Michelle.



You have skunks???



You have moose?

I wish I could trade MY skunks for Michelle's moose! I LOVE moose. Fell in love with them in Wyoming when I'd see them out the window a few feet away. So cute! In fact, my moose Webkinz just came in the mail today.....Tyler's going to be jealous!!!

Hi All....

I can't believe that I watched the ending of Lost two days ago and I'm still perplexed about the whole thing and trying to figure it out. Such a great show that I think ended so wrong.

Oh well, it's a three day weekend coming up. The weather is nice here. Sunny and warm but not too hot. It's beautiful. I'm sure we'll be doing some BBQing this weekend.

Next weekend we're going to spend four nights at Hershey playing in the park. I have my personal travel agent.....that we all know and love....looking into hotels and things to do. Thanks Mon.

Well, I saw a good explanation somewhere on FaceBook (I think somebody posted it as a comment on something of Kaylee's) where it seemed the main point is that it's like real life in that we all die and never find out the "why" or any explanations for some things. Makes sense to me.

 

[HollyTyler]

So I've been keeping in touch with all the kids by IM. Tom IM'd me and asked to come back to PA and live with us....I said absolutely not. Then I found out from John that he had called the kid, behind my back, and asked if he could move in with him. What a snake. The kid told him no. Then John said that Tom is going on vacation to Florida with the kid and his mother at the end of the month. He wanted to know if we all wanted to meet up and go out to dinner together when they dropped the kid back off here after the vacation. I said absolutely not. Why would I want to go out with my husband's ex and Tom. I know he would try and bamboozle me into letting him come back to live with us. I'm not interested at all.

I feel so bad for John. I know he's disappointed in Sandy and Tom and even Kris too. No matter what, he loves them....but he doesn't like their choices in their lives. It's hard for me, I can't even imagine how hard it is for him.

Uggghh.......this is just crummy.

 

[HollyTyler]

One wandered through Saratoga last year and ended at the racetrack... it was mating season...

Maybe she was playing hard to get and hiding from the males.

 

[HollyTyler]

I remember you saying a bag had gone missing, but I can't ever remember reading you got it back. I have thought about it often and kept meaning to ask.



I don't think I would like to meet one of those on the roadside.

Aw, they're very cute! I walked close to one to take a picture, until I saw her baby not too far away, so I turned back pretty quickly.
